Message: <blockquote data-quote="Nandina" data-source="post: 42340">You should see the dog before you bring it home.  You're not buying a pair of shoes, you're adopting a living animal with its own personality - you need to know if you LIKE that personality before you adopt.You should be able to meet the parents (or at least the mother) and see the environment in which the pups were raised - you can't do that on the internet.Also, it's not unknown for website sellers to send pictures of "other" dogs and then not send the one that you thought you were buying.Plus, shipping young puppies like so much warehoused cargo is stressful to them and unnecessary when you can find dogs anywhere in the nation.</blockquote>
